Abstract: Disclosed subject matter is related to project reusability including method and system for identifying reusable project components for building a new project. The method comprises extracting current requirement of the new project from one or more data sources, using NLP and detect pre-existing requirements associated with pre-existing projects, similar to the current requirement by performing semantic analysis of the current requirement and the pre-existing requirements using a predefined machine learning technique such as Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) technique. Further, a similarity score is determined for each of the one or more pre-existing requirements based on degree of similarity between the current requirement and the pre-existing requirements.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to acquire information regarding multiple transient states of a network including multiple nodes when the network undergoes clustering in which the multiple nodes are classified into multiple clusters. The multiple transient states each represent a transient state of the network on a way to a final result of the clustering. The processor is also configured to determine a common node by using the information regarding the acquired multiple transient states. The common node is used in the clustering in the multiple transient states.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor. The processor is programmed to output, by performing clustering on vocabulary information, vocabulary classification information representing a classification of an existing ontology that is systematically represented by linking plural concepts. The vocabulary information is produced from text information not classified into the existing ontology. The vocabulary information represents a semantic correlation of a vocabulary. The clustering uses concept classification information that is produced in accordance with an inheritance relation between the concepts included in the existing ontology and that is indicated as a pair of a concept as an inheritance source and a concept as an inheritance destination. The processor is programmed to then extend the existing ontology by adding to the existing ontology a concept absent in the existing ontology by using the vocabulary classification information.
